STEALING THE HARTFORD.
A Job TINT Puts Secretary Whitney In a Bad
~ Plight. ~ 81 9lHfS'-. 49,

Plight. 5i9.E77. n Z.
SAN FnAscIsco, July GA number Of
dispatches from Washington have been
printed here stating that the work Of re-
pairing Admiral Ferragups flagship Hart
ford, now in progress at the Mare Island
Navy Yard, would soon be discontinued,
IS Secretary Whitney had learned that
tho amount necessary to complete it would
exceed by twenty per cent the limit.
1t was alno stated as possible that an adj
ditionsl special appropriation might bore
quested to complete the repairs.
Speaking Of this, q naval officer Of high
rank eaid to-day: "'The kilograms con-
stsrtly refer to repairs on the gallant old
battle ship. No repairs ere in progress.
The Construction Department at Mare
Island turned a lot Of vanda!s loose on the
vessel, and for weeks they have been busy
destroying her. You should see her now.
There is nothing left but mere shell,
and at the present rate Of progress even
that will soon be turned into ywreckage.
Why, it will cost 3 small fortune to repair
the damage done by the Construction
Department. Not content with removing
the masts and quitting the vessel, the TEL
lows have stripped OF the serviceable
eheeting Oh which there was no strain,
torn out q cabin that anhwered every pur-
pose, and now, having destroyed
all but the frame, the conspir-
ators arc waiting 7 for an order to
cesse repairing, pending special
appropriation. Il am sorry. for Recretary
Whitney; he has been placed in very
unenviable poeition. II he allows the
Hartford to be wholly destroyed he will
fall into general contempt. If he allows
himself to be used for the purpose OF en-.
cheering q special atoaling appropriation
he will be a disgraced man. Why, 1t Ii
tho biggest job the navy has ever known
Talk about Robeson, his repair Jobs were
nothing in comparison with this.

From Information received through a
private eourcs since the above report was
put in type, it would appear that Wheel.
ing's defeat yesterday was due to Umpire
Bauer's very strange decisions in the ninth
inning. sandusky had two men out and
man on third. The man at the bat had
two strikes called on him; Kimber put a
fair, clean ball over the plate; to every
once surprise it was called ball. The
next ball was struck at and was
necessarily a strike, and with it, by
rights, the man and side were out. The
next ball was clearly a foul hit, striking
outside tho right field line, but it was
called safe hit. Such decisions so par
allied the Wheslingites TINT the man on
third got home easy, and SO did the striker
who had been so favored, before his side
WA mt '1 - 5.'5t 80.
